Teralfene is a village in the municipality of Affligem, Belgium. It has an area of 244 ha (602.94 acres). The other communities in Affligem are Hekelgem and Essene.
Name
The name "Teralfene" originates from the brook Alfene (now called the Bellebeek) which flows into the Dender. The oldest reference to the village is Iuxta Alfnam (circa 1142).
History
During the post-Carolingian period, Teralfene belonged to the shire of Brabant. From 1056 it was part of a fief of the Holy Roman Empire that was granted to the counts of Flanders (known as Imperial Flanders). During the French period (1796-1815) Teralfene was part of the Department of the Dyle. During the Dutch period (1815-1830) this department was transformed into the province South Brabant by William I of the Netherlands.

Political parties
Before Teralfene became part of Affligem, two political parties were prominent at the local level: the Dries and the Daal-party, each named after an area of the village. Both parties originated from a disagreement over an inheritance, and divided Teralfene since 1850. The Daal and Dries parties had about equal power, and election victories switched constantly for over 100 years.
After the merger into Affligem, other parties (CVP, SP, VU and PVV) gained popularity, and the Daal and Dries parties dissolved.
